*Good Vibes* 1cm dilated & thin cervix after sweep

[LaurenH0893]

Hi everyone.
Looking for some good / realistic vibes.
39+2 today and I had my first sweep (1st baby)
They said I am 1cm dilated & my cervix is very thin. It felt like she did a good sweep !

Feeling sore / crampy low at the front & the bottom of my back is aching & sore ! Not sure if it just from the sweep or something is happening.
Got another sweep in 6 days with my midwife.
As it is my first baby I have no idea what it should feel like etc.
Did anyone go into labour after their 1st sweep ?

I'm 38+4 and I tried to get a sweep today and the midwife wouldn't even check me. She said it's against policy. I was gutted as I was really looking forward to just seeing if there was some kind of progression :(

Anyway. My friend usually goes into labour after 2 sweeps.

Ooh that's a shame. I am under a consultant so they did my sweep at that last appointment. And he also put in my notes that my midwife can give me one at 40+1.
Maybe wait until your 40 weeks & ask again.
My consultant said you can have as many sweeps as you like as it isn't classed as "induction"

I had a Sweep the day before my due date, was also 1cm dialated.... Went into labour later that night dd born 24hrs later on her actual due date.... She's now 8days old... Good luck you'll be fine xxx

Just wanted to post to close this thread so it may offer someone else some help.
Our baby girl was born on 25/03/19 at 00:07 am ... 7 mins past her due date !
All is well , I went into hospital at 6.30 pm on Sunday the 24th and I was 4cm dilated !
Thanks everyone.
